124. The dust settles
After a stalemate, in the case of changing the 'beheading' to 'hanging', the ministers compromised as Zhao Mengqi thought.
There are also additional conditions, that is, only the crime himself, not the family, no property, can be publicly reported, but not publicly executed.
This is Zhao Mengqi's compromise, politics, isn't it a mutual compromise.
These treatments are not enjoyed by Dong Songchen and Lu Yunsheng, they are not scholars, they are just eunuchs.
The ministers were eager to cut these two people with a thousand knives, and they all felt that these two geldings had brought the civil officials into the ditch, and even secretly hated Yan Guifei, the initiator hiding in the palace.
Subsequently, the monarch and the ministers held in-depth and friendly consultations on the sentencing of the remaining officials, and both sides were not satisfied with the final result but accepted it.
More than 40 officials, ranging from demotion and dismissal to exile, the chief officer of the Guozijian was swept away, and there were only three or two kittens left in the Yushitai.
As for the white-clothed officials and civilians involved in the case, they are not in the scope of today's discussion, and there is nothing to say, just follow the law.
In addition, those demon monks in Bao'en Temple are destined to be cut by a thousand knives, but as a spy there is another case that requires a long investigation, and they can live for several more months.
When approaching the son, this long court meeting ended, and the civil and military officials dragged their tired bodies out of the Chongzheng Palace, and the Zhao Guan's family also drove back to the Funing Palace.
Zhao Mengqi raised his head, looked at the half moon in the night sky, and inexplicably thought of the moon-like woman, in a few days, he could see the whole moon, but he didn't know how long it would take to see the woman's appearance.
The Huns have not been destroyed, how can they be at home!
Hmph, brother is an ambitious person, and he can't let a woman affect the speed of drawing a knife!
Only then can you get a few more stabs.
Shaking his head and throwing out the messy thoughts, Zhao Mengqi stretched his body and stretched his waist.
Today is the longest day since he came here, don't look at him has been careless, confident, in fact, the ten strings in his head, eleven are tightened.
At this time, when the dust settled, I really relaxed.
It's finally a foothold, the muddy pond of the court can be put aside for the time being, it's too annoying to scheming or something......
"Let's go, go home."
"Huh?"
Huang Gong was stunned for a moment before he reacted and kept up with Zhao Mengqi's footsteps.
Anbu walked back to Qingyan Palace, and when he was about to reach the door, Zhao Mengqi stopped in a little stunned, and a petite figure was sitting on the threshold, leaning against the door frame, dozing off.
A warm current welled up in his heart, Zhao Mengqi smiled unconsciously, someone is waiting, it is the real home.
Zhao Yun, who was wearing a light collar, was holding a lion cat in his hand, he didn't know what he dreamed of, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he looked coquettish.
Xiao Hei, who was lying on her stomach at her feet, heard the movement, raised her head to confirm that it was Zhao Mengqi, then bit her master's clothes and tugged lightly a few times.
Rubbing the back of his hand, Zhao Yan opened his hazy eyes, saw his brother standing in front of him, and was instantly surprised, "Ah! Fourth brother, you're back! ”
I tried to stand up suddenly, but I didn't notice that my feet were numb, I didn't hold steady, and I sat back, and the lion cat was thrown out.
"Meow!!" Anger from the real boss.
Zhao Mengqi strode forward, gently picked up his sister, and walked in slowly, "The night is as cold as water, what are you stupid girl doing here." ”
"Hee-hee... I'm waiting for you. Zhao Yan leaned on his brother's shoulder, and he was not a little awkward, "It's too big here, and my mother is not ......."
Zhao Mengqi understood, this girl was still so insecure, and deliberately quipped, "How old a person is, and so timid, in the future, your princess's mansion will also be very big, so what should you do." ”
"What princess's mansion?"
"Well, our little lady will be the princess of Fengguo in the future, and there will naturally be a big princess mansion."
"Huh? Do the mother and the fourth brother also live there? ”
"Naturally not, my mother can live in the Rongwang Mansion, I, naturally, live in the palace, or in my own palace."
"Then I don't want it, my father always comes to my mother's yard these days, and he always drives Shunniang away, so I want to live with the fourth brother, but don't you want to be a lady anymore, fourth brother?"
"Su Niang always has to grow up, in a few years, the fourth brother will find a wishful wolf to live with you in the princess's mansion."
"Don't! I don't want it, I don't want ......"
As he spoke, Zhao Yan became aggrieved, and he cried.
It scared Zhao Mengqi into a panic, and he didn't dare to tease her anymore, so he hurriedly comforted, "Okay, okay, don't want it, then I'll live with the fourth brother in the future, where the fourth brother goes, I'll take you there, okay?" ”
"It's pretty much the same, I know that the fourth brother is the best!" Zhao Yan burst into tears and laughed, happily arching his brother's shoulder socket.
"I'm sick of it! In the middle of the night, I didn't let people sleep! You bastard can't be a good person once? And you little bean sprouts, how old you are, you still need someone to hug you, are you ashamed! ”
Qian Duo was like a tigress, standing at the door of the dormitory with her waist crossed, her face was angry, and she looked at the brother and sister with big eyes and hatred, but there was a hint of food in her eyes.
Zhao Mengqi glanced at her, the clothes on her body were neat, where would it be the person who was woken up.
"Why are you here!?"
"You want to take care of it!? You think I want to be here? Hum! ”
After speaking, he stomped his foot, turned around and entered the dormitory, got into the small pavilion where the maid was on duty at night, and slammed the door shut.
Looking at the back that disappeared behind the door, Zhao Mengqi pulled out a playful chuckle, remembering that Princess Qian's hand 'robbed while the fire was hot' during the day, this Qian family really tried their best to tie themselves up.
shrugged his shoulders and carried Zhao Yun into the dormitory.
The bed is wide enough, and Zhao Yan is young, so there is no need to avoid being too taboo, Zhao Mengqi put her down and covered her with a quilt, "Silly girl, good night." ”
Then he didn't bother to freshen up, so he lay down on the other side of his kimono, put on a pillow, and fell asleep.
When he arrived, Zhao Mengqi woke up on time, and before he opened his eyes, he felt a warm little thing curled up in his arms.
Zhao Mengqi opened his eyes, and through the dim palace lamp, he gently looked at his sister who was sleeping like a baby, a little funny, but more pity, and the consciousness of seeking protection had been engraved into this girl's bones.
Perhaps, she hugged the cat all the time, also because she was afraid of being alone.
Carefully getting up and gently tucking the quilt, Zhao Mengqi got out of bed and tiptoed out of the dormitory.
In Miyagi, there was silence, the moon had set, and the night sky was still brilliant.
For Zhao Mengqi, a new day has begun.
